Ma 's'en clusag dhut a ghaineamh Ma 'se leabaidh dhut an gheamainn. Ma 's en t-iasg do choinlean geala Ma 'se na roin do luchd-faire. Translation: I am full of sadness Early in the morning as I rise. chorus: I long to journey there with you. Brownhaired Alan, I long to go with you. The sand is your pillow The seaweed is your bed. The fish are the white candles at your deathbed The seals keep watch over you. |

Subject: Lyr Req: about a man lost at sea From: doc.tom Date: 19 May 11 - 05:35 AM A friend is looking for a short song about a man lost at sea that he can sing as a tribute to a friend of his that has recently been lost at sea. A Clovelly lifeboatman as it happens - but his life was not lost in the line of duty. Any suggestions? TomB |
